Okay, so the problem seems to be that objdump (from binutils) wasn't in $PATH
when GCC was built, which makes configure mis-detect 'as' as not supporting
.hidden when it actually does.

It was not:
hemlock% grep HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN auto-host.h
/* #undef HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN */
Relevant extract from config.log:
configure:21227: checking assembler for .hidden
configure:21242
